Cassandra by Lottie Winter
“When you accepted employment as a governess in Victorian England, you assumed your life would be set on an unchangeable path. After the death of her parents, Cassandra, a young woman with a talent for music assumes the role of governess to two young children, whose own mother died a few years previously. However all is not as it seems, and after an initial quiet few months, she is spotted by Thorpe Pembroath, the owner of the Estate, father of the children and her employer.
A dinner invitation very quickly proves to have more to it than initially meets the eye, and Cassandra is suddenly swept without warning into a world unlike anything she has ever seen or known before.
But for all of Cassandra’s fears and insecurities at what is shown to her, it is ultimately Thorpe, a dark, brooding and intelligent man, who can without warning show a ruthless cruel streak , whose life is turned on its head and for whom the weekend will mean his world is forever changed.”
Cassandra is a Carnal Set Novel – a series which follows the erotic pleasures, perversions, romance, delights and delectations of a group of extremely select men and women in Victorian England.

About the author:
I hope you enjoy reading my books, as much as I love to write them.
What inspired you to write your book?
I loved writing Cassandra, and the prequel short “The Inauguration of the Carnal Set”, and have started work on the next Carnal Set book!
Here is a short sample from the book:
From Chapter One
Tucking a stray hair behind my ear, whilst at the same time wiping a tear discreetly from my cheek, I found myself allowing the sound of Reverend Sand’s funeral liturgy fade away. I glanced about the gathered congregation, half of whom I knew were there to take a look at the soon to be destitute unmarried daughter, their chatter being, if I could keep my composure long enough for the funeral to be over. There were as many hoping I would crumple as there were those willing for my back to stay straight and my countenance strong.
My fall from grace had been swift and absolutely not of my own doing! My mother had died some ten years ago, when I was just twelve years old. I could still remember her smile and the way her hair tickled me when she grabbed me and scooped me up into one of her huge unladylike cuddles. I felt safe knowing she would never let me go. But lots of the details were getting fuzzy, every now and again, I would smell something; a flower perhaps or the honeysuckle scented perfume she wore and those half-forgotten memories, would briefly wash over me. After my mother’s death my father, a celebrated conductor, fell into his brandy bottle. For a few years his reputation had carried him and society had allowed him to falter, but eventually the jobs dried up as orchestra’s stopped using him. It had been at this point, of apparent rock bottom, that I had witnessed what I had thought was my father rallying and reinventing himself; the drinking ceasing and the music back in his life.
It was not until his death just nine days ago, that the truth had finally made itself known, my father had been secretly drinking, gambling and spending his time in places no respectable man should ever been seen. As soon as his creditors realised he had died, they were scrambling around looking for the money they were owed. The house and all the contents would have to be sold, I would be lucky to still have the clothes on my back when they had finished. I fingered the hem of my cloak, my mother’s jewellery having been sewn in there by Mrs Suggins, our housekeeper. The very moment she realised what was happening, she had gathered up the small amount of jewellery my mother had possessed and had hastily sewn it all into the hem of my cloak, the creditors would not be taking that! I had since added to the hems of my day dresses all my own jewellery, and a few gold sovereigns. In fact anything that was small enough, with any notable value currently inhabited the thick hems and linings of my dresses. Not worth a fortune, but enough I hoped to keep me off the streets, there were even diamond earrings sewn into the lace of my nightgown………………………
From Chapter Two
Stretching in what I knew was a languid fashion, I had totally forgotten about the little wench laying next to me, and it wasn’t until I inadvertently kicked her that she awoke and wriggled about. She poked her head out from under the sheets, a warm smile and an endearingly freckled nose greeted me but I really wasn’t in the mood, instead I groaned and turned over ignoring her. I remembered vaguely that she was Martha, one of the kitchen maids, she wasn’t someone I would normally come across but drunk, horny and on the prowl she had taken very little in the way of persuasion to accompany me and as I recalled it. The little slut had moved well, I most certainly wasn’t her first. She had squealed at the right times, seeming more than happy when I slipped silk scarfs around her wrists and ankles while pulling them tightly together, rendering her helpless and ripe for the taking.
And now she wasn’t giving up, or taking the hint, I could feel warm hands snaking their way around my body, slipping between my legs and without a moment’s hesitation wrapping around my semi erect morning cock. At that I growled and slapped her hands away.
“Has a night with me, not taught you anything girl?” Although she shrunk back from me, I could see a grin still on her face, the knowing little slut was well aware of what she was doing. Embracing that look, I raised myself out of my bed, pausing for just a second to grab at the goblet of water on my bed stand, I took a long gulp to slake the thirst born of far too much wine, whisky and brandy the night before.
I grabbed her roughly, spinning her about so her head and neck dangled over the edge of my bed, this not being the first time I had indulged myself in such things. Although I wasn’t short by anyone’s regard, at just under 6”, I knew my bed was far too high to allow me comfortable purchase, so leaning under I pulled out a small stool which was set there just for this purpose. Pushing the practical thoughts from my head, I got back to the business at hand, or more aptly I got back to the young woman currently squirming under my strong grasp.

In Dolce, a full-course Italian meal prepared with love whets . . . other appetites.
The stories in Perfect Need explore what love and passion can become, how they can affect two people for a moment, or for a lifetime; when they tumble into a love they never expected; when they decide it’s worth the risk to stay . . . or not.
Our First Time by Aniol Morze
This set of 20 stories, based on true accounts, is a series of confessions by women about the time they lost their virginity. I don’t think there will be many girls who were strippers before they lost their virginity, but I am one. I was never very worried about losing my virginity, it wasn’t something I attached a lot of importance to. But I hadn’t really found a good way to be with boys, I was a bit of a loner, I preferred to hang back and not be noticed. I had some friends, and we all seemed to go out in a bunch, which didn’t make it easier to pair up. I was at college, I was working in a bar to make ends meet, and I wasn’t doing very well. My parents didn’t really want me to go away to college, and they didn’t have a lot of money anyway, so I didn’t want to ask them for help, I wanted to show them I could make it. I worked hard at college, and I worked hard at night in the bar, but still I was struggling to pay my rent. The boss, Ray, was a good guy, he helped as much as he could, and gave me good shifts. But I mentioned to him that I was short of money, and he said if I wanted, I could work at a private party that was on next day. What sort of work, I said, a bit suspicious. Well, it’s a stag night, and they want strippers. I can only find one who’s available, I need at least one more. Can you do it? I was very embarrassed, it was odd talking to him about that, it sort of reminded me of my gender, I hadn’t thought like that with him. Do I have to strip? Can’t I do something else — dance, maybe?
He laughed, then he thought about it. Well, you’d have to take most of your clothes off. Maybe you could still keep a bit.
How about no touching, I said, I was nervous to think how a party could turn out. kay, he said, I’ll be there, I can keep an eye out for you.
I felt a surge of certainty and doubt at the same time. Okay, I said, I’ll do it. You can meet the other girl before the party, she’ll show you what to do, he said.
I didn’t sleep that well, I kept having thoughts about showing myself off, but I consoled myself with the thought that I wasn’t really going to go all the way. I think I even dreamt about being nude in front of a whole group of men, at school of all places.

The Portable Laura Roberts by Laura Roberts
Laura Roberts was born in 1978 and immediately began writing the story of her life, after staring up at a spinning mobile above her crib for a sufficient period of time and thinking, “I could do better than that.” Though the intervening years have seen her scribbling in notebooks, Harriet the Spy-style, as well as concocting rude gossip rags about her friends and family (hello, “Gossip World!”), she first debuted her special brand of insanity in a university-level screenwriting class, where her final project was a Hal Hartley-inspired fanfic tribute to David Duchovny whose climax saw the protagonist wielding two menacing halves of Immanuel Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason in a boxing match against Duchovny’s real-life wife, Téa Leoni. She received an A from her professor, as well as the astute comment, “You got away with a lot.”
She has been getting away with a lot more ever since, including crime fiction, erotica, sex columns, an honors degree in Creative Writing and English Literature, thinly veiled tracts against her former home base in Austin, Texas, and a ninja versus pirates cavalcade.
Laura is the author of NINJAS OF THE 512, aka the best novel you’ll ever read about pirates, ninjas and evil politicians in Austin, Texas. Her second novel, NAKED MONTREAL, about her time as a sex columnist in the Sin City of the North, is available in serial format. She is also pondering a ninja follow-up that features ninjas versus robots. In her copious spare time, Laura curates the cheeky literary magazine Black Heart, which features indie authors’ poetry and prose on a daily basis, and lives in an Apocalypse-proof bunker in SoCal with her artist husband and their literary kitty, Nedward Carlos Nedwards.
THE PORTABLE LAURA ROBERTS is Laura’s most egotistical anthology to date, but she hopes her friends and fans will be amused by this diversion while they await the completion of her next novel.
